Application led April 6, 1917. Serial No. 160,089.

., porting leg, and two clamps, formed by being struck from asingle sheet of suitable material.

In the drawings- Figure l is a front elevation of an easel embodying my invention, with a calendar `pad in place thereon.

Fig. 2 is a vertical view of the same in section, taken on the line 2 2 of'Fig. l.

As shown in the drawings the easel otmy invention is to be formed by being stamped Vor struck from the single sheet 3, which. is

preferably of metal, and is of such size with reference to the calendar pad 8 to be carried by the easel as to aord such uncovered pad 8, as will accommodate any desired advertising matter, such as is indicated by the word Eli in Fig. l.

Such advertising matter may be stamped or struck up by the same operation in which the leg 4 and strips 5 5 are struck from the blank 3.

` The leg et thus formed has a flaring base as shown and is free to be bent rearwardly as shown in Fig..2 to form a support Y for the easel. The strips 5 5 are cut from the blank 3 adjacent to the leg 4 bent forwardly, then upwardly, then forwardly at an angleof 90 degrees to the plane or' the front of the base 3, and their terminals then bent downwardly, all as shown in Fig. 2, so that they "form the pad-receiving clamps V6 6, wherein the calendar pad 8 is secured by pins or rivets 7 7 if desired.

'Vhen desired, and the calendar pad is suitably made to thateud, the rivets 7 7 or other extraneous sec ring devices may be dispensed with, and the pad 8 held in place in the clamps 6 6 by the pressure of said clamps 6 6 alone. yThe easel thus produced strong, light in weight, simple in construcl. eration at a minimum or" cost.

As shown in the drawings the leg f-l is bent rearwardly along the transverse line of the blank 3, on which line the strips 5 5 are bent outwardly, thus leaving the full strength of the material of the blank 3 along the line at which the rivets 7 7 are to be inserted. Y

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to have secured tion and produced by a single stamping op- .to me by the grant of Letters Patent, is space, in addition to that occupied by the As a new article of manufacture a calendar pad easel comprising a base, a supportv ing leg, and a pair of pad-receiving clamps,

' formed by being struck from a single sheet signature. l
